01.01 Pilot
In the series premiere, Emma Swan, a hardened bounty hunter and self-described loner, is confronted by her estranged 10-year-old son, Henry, whom she gave up for adoption as a baby. Henry believes Emma is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, destined to break a curse that has trapped fairy tale characters in the small town of Storybrooke, where they’re unaware of their true identities. After reluctantly taking Henry back to Storybrooke, Emma begins to sense that there might be more to his story—and to the town—than meets the eye.
There was an enchanted forest filled with all the classic characters we know. Or think we know. One day they found themselves trapped in a place where all their happy endings were stolen. Our World. This is how it happened…
–[Enchanted Forest]–
[Prince Charming rides on a horse along a long stretch of land towards a forest. In the forest, he meets several dwarves gathered around a glass coffin.]
Doc: You’re too late.
[Camera pans to Snow White lying inside the coffin.]
Prince Charming: No. No! Open it.
Grumpy: I’m sorry, she’s gone.
Prince Charming: At least let me say goodbye.
[The dwarves remove the lid of the coffin. Prince Charming kisses Snow White, which causes the spell she was under to be broken. A pulse of magic spreads throughout the land. She wakes up and gasps.]
Snow White: You… You found me.
Prince Charming: Did you ever doubt I would?
Snow White: Truthfully, the glass coffin gave me pause.
Prince Charming: Well, you never have to worry. I will always find you.
Snow White: Do you promise?
